Kia Ora,
We have had a great start to the term. It has been wonderful to hear all about our learners exciting holidays and dive straight into their learning. This term is when it starts to get colder but let’s hope we can keep the sunshine for as long as possible.
Term Two Concept - Community - Our school and beyond….
Our learning for Term 2 concept is focused on the concept of community in all its shapes and forms.
To begin to tackle this often challenging conceptual idea, we are taking part in a cross hub immersion. We are experiencing 12 different community sessions from different senior school teachers to share their community knowledge and passions and experience the breadth that the community concept has to offer.

Community Notices
Please take the time to click on our community notices. This section holds information on what is going on in and around our community, outside of school activities. New notices have and has recently been added and the section is updated on a regular basis.
Mrs Walsh is looking at how we can be of service to our community. Healthy foods are often quite expensive and we will be looking at how we can help those less fortunate have better access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
Miss Toland is looking at how health makes us rich. We have been walking in the shoes of others to experience what it would feel like to adapt our experiences.
Mr Cadelis has been doing experiences surrounding diverse perspectives through a cultural lens. The learning has included Te Reo, Maori custom and fine motor skills.
If you would like to keep up with the learning please follow us on Twitter @Stonefieldssch, @GCadelis, @GCadelis, @naomi_toland, or @nicole_m_walsh. If you are not on Twitter we will be adding these to our Twitter wall in the hub.
Reminders
School Uniforms
Please ensure all school items are named. This includes lunchbox, school bag, all clothing, hats, etc.
Lost items are regularly sent to the red lost property cupboard outside the Akomanga Koru, (previously the library). The summer uniform consists of a short sleeve polo shirt, shorts for boys and skorts for girls. Shoes are black and hair accessories are to be in our school colours. A wide-brimmed navy or black hat is now optional in Term 2 and 3.
Cross County
Cross country is taking place on Friday 28th June! In the hub we are using this event as a learning opportunity through P.E. We are learning about how the body works and history around running as a sport. The learners will need to bring in appropriate running footwear and gear and time will be provided for them to get changed etc. More information about the training and cross country event will go out shortly.
Kiwi Sport
This term we are thrilled to offer Kiwi Sport Taekwondo to our Year 4-6 cohort. This will take place on Tuesday mornings with learners attending 40-minute sessions each week. This will run for six weeks.
Food & Waste
Stonefields School is an Enviro School and we aim to minimise the quantity of waste that we produce here. We encourage our students to keep food wrappers at home and to keep food waste in their lunch boxes. Brain food is vital for children during their learning. Lollies and treats need to be left at home, please. We appreciate your support with this.
Volunteers
As always, we love having your support within the hub. If you are available to offer your time in any of the following areas could you please let us know:
- Break Through
- Spelling testing
- Reading with our learners
- Laminating & cutting resources
We value any time that you can spare.
Our doors are always open and we are happy to have a chat before or after school. If you have any questions or concerns and need a longer time to meet with us, please contact us to make a scheduled time to connect. Please note that we have our scheduled PLD meetings on Thursday mornings before school, so we are unable to meet during this time.
We look forward to seeing you all and hope you are able to attend the Learner Led Conferences evening of Wednesday 5th June (Week 6)
Kind regards,
Akomanga Iwa Teachers
